sarcoidosis of the index finger

Rajinder Pal Singal, Samita Singal, Rikki Singal

Abstract :

 Sarcoidosis is a rare idiopathic multisystem disease that is characterized by the deposition of noncaseating epithelioid granulomata. a 35–year–old man reported with a swelling at the middle of the right index finger with no evidence of systemic involvement. X–ray of the finger revealed lytic lesions. Osseous sarcoidosis of the finger is uncommon and, in the absence of significant systemic disease, is rarely the primary presenting feature. Early diagnosis and treatment of such undetermined bone pathology, via referral to a regional musculoskeletal tumor service, can prevent significant future complications.
